TESP designs, develops, qualifies and manufactures a variety of small, highly reliable products, which in many cases are intended to operate explosive devices such as EEDs (Electro-Explosive Devices), EB Ws (Exploding BridgeWires), EFIs (Exploding Foil Initiators), and other similar devi ces. Product applications include Aircrew Safety, Launch and Tactical Vehicles, and Energetic Devices. Our products include:
- Aircraft ejection seat solid state sequencers
- Escape system controllers
- Associated field equipment
TESP is an operating unit of Teledyne Technologies. TESP is located in Chatsworth, California, and has been manufacturing products since 1986.
